Chicago, June 8. For Kansas:

Spain complains that the United States
ia a recruiting ground for the Cuban in
surgents. Well, the United States can
apologize and that ought to settle it.
Senator Inualls made the occasion
of his Eureka speech an opportunity to
puncture the "overproduction" and
"lack of confidence" theories, and he
did it in a way that only he can.
Arthur Capper's paper says there
are but 17 Republican papers in Kansas
that favor free coinage of silver. Will
he kindly print the names of them next
week so the people may know their
friends.
The fact that the government has
been called upon to decide a controversy
which has arisen among its partners in
the whisky business places it in an em
harassing position. There is no proba
bility, however, that the partnership will
be dissolved.
CarIj Browne announces that the sur
vivors of the Commonweal army will re
visit Washington July 4. The Common
wealers should select the winter time
for their next descent on the national cap
ital, when there is no grass to get them
into trouble.
The revival in business already seems
to demand the importation of iron ore
from Cuba. It would be interesting to
have somebody explain why, with the
mountains of iron ore existing in this
country, we cannot produce all the iron
we need.
Will White has started out to rival
the Topeka Journal in sensationalism.
Osage City Free Press.
Mr. White is a skilled journalist fresh
from one of the best newspapers in the
west. He knows what is news and knows
how to get it up in presentable shape.
Real news is always sensational. That
is mainly what makes it news. The
newsiest paper in the United States is
the New York World with 600,000 sub
scribers. It is called "sensational" by
all the sleepy sheets in New York which
are jogging along with 30,000 circula
tion. Some country editors in Kansas
ought to be sent east or to the Topeka
State Journal office to learn a few les
sons on what is news and how to get it.
An exchange calls attention to the
fact that there is about four times as
rm h tllver as gold in the United States
treasury, and asks why it is that the gold
is circulating among the people and the
silver remains in the treasury vaults.
There is no reason why the gold circu
lates among the people because it
doesn't. What qld there is in the
Siuntry outside of the government's
vaults is ia somebody else's vaults. A
gold coin is rarely seen in ordinary busi
ness any more as compared with other
forms of currency. The reason the sil
ver remains in the treasury vaults is be
cause the treasury officials absolutely
refuse to pay it oat for any purpose
whatever except in the redemption of
silver certificates. In each cases it can
not be avoided, bat it is done under pro
THEY WANT INGALLS.
Railroad Men "Who Think Ha Would
Make a Good President.
To the Editor of the State Journal.
A discussion of the silver question,
gold bug situation and general condition
of the country originated in a favorite
hiding place, not joint, if you please, of
Santa 1 fl trainmen where twenty-live
men were present
Said one staid, brainy conductor:
"What's the matter with the country and
who shall we, the every day hustlers,
vote for for president when the time
comes?"
Another gentleman, advanced in years
and wrinkled with the kinks of time, al
most vociferously exclaimed "John J.
Ingalls."
It was like, a stampede of quadrupeds. .
There was a universal hurrah, for In
galls. "Ingalls," interposed the last
speaker, "is the sort of timber the sturdy
American can point to as- reliable as
Providence and firm as a rock. I believe
he is honest and wherever I have teen
the people as a whole have confidence in
him.
"There are none to besmirch him bat
the would-be office-holder. He is con
versant with the practical situations
of the lower classes as well as
the upper; and he has got
the nerve and the stamina, al
though only a shadow physically to stand
by his convictions in the face of all the
selfish class of conscienceless political
manipulators in Christendom."
It is not unlikely that this little confab,
more than once referred to on the streets,
like the "cloud the size of a man's hand,"
may extend to a national whirlwind,
Ingalls' position on the silver question is
O. K, and there is a latent sentiment
anyway in his behalf which only needs
Blight cultivating to gain gigantic pro
portions. Let Topeka's brainy laboring
men have the credit of starting the blast.
Signed.
Don't Know Ingalls When I See Him.
ABOUT THE ACADEMY.
Soma Facts Concerning' the Institution
Mr. Ingalls Helped Out.
The institution for whose profit Mr.
Ingalls spoke at Eureka Thursday night
is called the Southern Kansas Academy.
It was founded ten years ago and is
under the direction of the Southern
Kansas society of, the Congregational
church. During the first five years of
its existence the academy fell behind in
its expenses $800 a year. During the
last three $ 1500 of debt has been paid.
The debt which it is now sought to
raise is the interest on $3,000 which was
expended for furnishing the building.
The interest is behind two years. Henry
WTatterson was engaged last winter but
he did not prove a financial success as
he had to be paid $200 for his services.
Mr. Ingalls donated his services, even in
sisting on paying his hotel bill and other
personal expenses. The institution ex
pects to realize about $350 from his com
ing. Prof. E. G. Lancaster, Amherst '85, has
been principal of the school the last
three years but retires this year. There
are four other instructors.
A fine class of twenty-one, fourteen
girls and seven boys was graduated this
year.
After the lecture Thursday night a
delightful spread was given in the Hotel
Greenwood at which Senator Ingalls,
Judge L. D. Davis, Capt. W. R, Hardy,
members of the graduating class and
others were present.
THE ONLY PAPER.
The. State Journal was the only
daily paper which published a report of
Senator Ingalls' visit to Eureka and his
speech there. Other papers were so
badly scooped that they did not even
mention the fact of his visit to Eureka
at all. Senator Ingalls' address included
much of his new lecture, and was highly
interesting and important. The Journal
sent a special reporter to Eureka to
record the event. The Journal can
alwaya be looked to for newspaper en
terprise. As a matter of useful information It
may be stated that whenever a cooking
receipt calls for a baking powder the
"Royal" should be used. The receipt
will be found to work better and surer,
and the bread, biscuit, rolls, cakes, dump
lings, crusts, puddings, crullers or what
ever made, will be sweeter, lighter,
finer-flavored, more dainty, palatable and
wholesome.
THE MINERS' BENEFIT.
It Will Be Given By the Suffrage Women
Thursday Evening.
The suffrage women are very busy
just now with the arrangements for the
entertainment they are going to give, at
Hamilton hail next Tuesday evening for
the benefit of the suffering Scranton
miners. Nearly every thing has been
donated. Hamilton hall was given them
free, and the best talent in the city will
assist.
The programme will be helped by the
Modocs, Prof. Vincent Graham, and the
Wyatt sisters; Mrs. J. W. Going and Miss
Anna Campbell; piano, Miss Winifred
Wagner; the Lotus club; a recita
tion by William Wadsworth, and a violin
solo by Mrs. Frank FoBter.
The tickets will be sold at twenty-five
conts each, and will be on sale at all the
drug stores tomorrow.

NEW RACE STARTING MACHINE IN USE IN AUSTRALIA.
The Australian starting- machine Is the development of the last two years. It Is constructed
of two posts, planted firmly on either side of the track in as many places as there are distances
for races. These posts are braced In the direction of the track, with wire guy ropes running
from the ground to their tops, very much after the manner in which the center poles of circus
tents are held In place. The wire braces on the side on which the start is to be made form a
sort of iaclined plane. The barrier is attached to these braces at the ends by means of ground
pulleys. These pulleys are attached to the top of the posts by means of strong rubber bands,
so that when the barrier is drawn it will be on a level with the heads of the horses in waiting
for the start. When ready to be released the barrier is carried to the top of the posts almost
instantaneously with the touching of the button. The barrier itself is formed of eight tight
ropes stretched parallel to each other at intervals of two or three inches. The barrier is re
leased by means of an electrio button attached to the post alongside of the starter's box, whose
sole duty is to see that the horses are close up to the screen. The whole machine is exceedingly
light and simple in construction.
THAT RAINWATER IS HERE
The Flood From Western Kansas Raises
the River Three Feet.
The Kansas river has more water in it
now than at any time for over a year.
The June rise is here.
Yesterday morning the sand bars were
bare; but this morning they are out of
sight.
The water guage at 8 o'clock this
morning showed a rise of three feet and
four inches above low water mark, but
the water has been so far below low wa
ter mark for several months that the
guage don't begin to show the actual
rise.
When the news reports came in from
western Kansas last week and told about
a rainfall of from four to six inches
everywhere and from eight to ten inches
in Norton county, many people were
skeptical but the evidence of a tremen
dous rainfall far out in the west has at last
reached us.
The wild waves of water that have
come from the west brought with them
foam bubbles and drift wood. The water
is still going up.
The statistics show that there is used
in the manufacture of the Royal Baking
Powder more than half of all the cream
of tartar consumed in the United States
or all purposes. The wonderful sale
hus indicated for the Royal Baking
Powder greater than that of all other
baking powders combined ie perhaps
the highest evidence of the superiority
of this article, and of its indispeusable
ness to modern cookery.

THE BALL GAME.
Emporia Again Knocks Topeka Out in
Yesterday's Game.
Topeka lost to Emporia again yester
day in the ball game at Athletic park.
This makes the first time this season
that Topeka has lost two straight games
and now the fans are swearing and de
manding an all round change.
Even New York and Chicago some
times do as bad, and if the managers
listened to the blatant howl of the out
siders, as Manager Mote gives evidence
of doing, they might discharge their en
tire clubs a dozen of times a year.
A week ago when the Topeka team
was playing almost faultless ball they
were applauded to the skies, and now be
cause they lose two games every one de
mands a changa Who ever knew of
a ball player who did not have his off
days? If this principle of chang
ing is to ba kept up through
out the Beason we may expect to have a
raw team all summer. Some of the play
ing yesterday was reprehensible, but it
was no worse than is often seen in big
ger games. If it had not been for an
accident in the fourth inning Topeka
would have won the game hands down.
There were three men on bases when
Randolph of Emporia came to the bat.
There were two men out and Ran
dolph had two strikes, when the
batter was hit in the head by a
pitched ball. It looked for a time as if
he had been killed, but he was brought
around all right, however, Switzer, who
was pitching for Topeka, could not
regain his equilibrium and Roy Evans
who took Randolph's place at the bat
knocked the first ball over the fence.
Roy Evans also took Randolph's place in
the box and fooled the Topeka batters
just as he did the day before. That is
why the game was lost. A close exami
nation of the score will show, that the
game was not so bad after all. Topeka
made six errora and Emporia aa many.

This medicine does not stiulate and con

as a tonic and alternative. It acts mildly
on the stomach and bowels, adding
strength and giving tone to the organs,
thereby aiding nature in the performance
